Yes. A firm that stops importing or exporting can surrender its IEC through ANF 2A on the DGFT portal. DGFT then intimates Customs and the RBI, preventing future misuse of a dormant code linked to your PAN.
Yes, if they import or export goods. A proprietor applies using their personal PAN, which becomes the firm's IEC. Individuals exporting only personal-use items, or covered by a specific notified exemption, need not obtain an IEC.
Yes. Under Section 7 of the FTDR Act 1992 and the Foreign Trade Policy 2023, no person may import into or export out of India without a valid Importer-Exporter Code, except for a few notified exemptions such as personal-use goods.

The government fee for a fresh IEC on the DGFT portal is ₹500, and annual updation is free. Professional fees for document preparation, DSC or Aadhaar authentication and AD Code registration are separate and depend on the scope of assistance.

Reading this guide locally — Across Karthik Nagar Nerkundram, in the planned residential micro-pocket micro-market of Karthik Nagar Nerkundram.
The Import Export Code (IEC) is a 10-digit identification number issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade under Section 7 of the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act 1992. The FTDR Act 1992 replaced the older Imports and Exports (Control) Act 1947 and established a statutory framework that emphasises trade promotion over trade control. Section 7 of the FTDR Act makes IEC mandatory for any person undertaking the import or export of goods, with limited exemptions notified by the Central Government. The IEC number, once issued, is permanent and is linked to the Permanent Account Number of the holder under the rationalisation introduced by DGFT Notification 09/2015-20 dated 12-June-2017. The Foreign Trade Policy 2023, which replaced FTP 2015-20 with effect from 01-April-2023, continues the FTDR-Act-based architecture and consolidates IEC issuance, modification, and deactivation rules in Chapter 1 and the Handbook of Procedures.
DGFT Notification 27/2015-20 dated 08-Aug-2018 and the corresponding FTP 2023 provisions clarify that IEC is not required for: (a) import or export of goods for personal use not connected with trade, manufacture, or agriculture; (b) import or export by Central or State Government departments; (c) import or export by specified charitable institutions; (d) services exports unless the exporter intends to claim FTP benefits. Despite these exemptions, AD Category-I banks under FEMA regulations frequently require IEC for processing inward remittances against export proceeds — leading services exporters to obtain IEC voluntarily. The practical consequence is that IEC is functionally near-universal for cross-border commerce, even where strict FTDR-Act mandate is absent.
Following DGFT Notification 09/2015-20 dated 12-June-2017, IEC numbers are now identical to the holder's PAN, replacing the earlier system of distinct 10-digit codes. The one-IEC-per-PAN rule means that a single entity (proprietorship, partnership, LLP, company, society, HUF) cannot hold multiple IECs. Where group entities share a common promoter family, each separate legal person obtains its own PAN-linked IEC. This architecture aligns with the post-GST trade-identity rationalisation and integrates IEC with GSTIN, ICEGATE and the AD-bank reporting ecosystems for end-to-end traceability of trade transactions.
The IEC-RCMC-AD-Code triangle is the foundational compliance trio for export operations. IEC (DGFT, identity, one-time) + RCMC (Export Promotion Council, benefits, 5-year validity) + AD Code (AD bank + Customs port, banking linkage, per-port) together unlock the full export ecosystem. Status Holder recognition (One Star to Five Star under FTP 2023 paragraph 1.27) is a fourth layer that sits above this triangle and confers procedural and substantive concessions on high-volume exporters. Each component serves a distinct functional purpose and they cannot substitute for one another.
IEC is the foundational identity number for any cross-border trade transaction. It is issued under the FTDR Act 1992 by DGFT and is mandatory for filing a Customs shipping bill or bill of entry. IEC alone, however, does not entitle the holder to FTP scheme benefits such as RoDTEP, Advance Authorization, EPCG, or Status Holder recognition. It is the prerequisite for further registrations rather than a substantive benefit-conferring document.
Registration-cum-Membership Certificate (RCMC) is issued by an Export Promotion Council (EPC) or Commodity Board to its members under FTP 2023 paragraph 2.55. RCMC is the precondition for claiming benefits under the Foreign Trade Policy, including RoDTEP scrips (which replaced MEIS post-January 2021), Advance Authorization, EPCG, Duty-Free Import Authorization, and Status Holder certification. Without RCMC, an IEC-holder can still export but loses access to incentive schemes. RCMC is now issued centrally through the DGFT e-RCMC platform with a uniform 5-year validity.
Advance Authorization under FTP 2023 Chapter 4 allows duty-free import of inputs used in the manufacture of export products, subject to a positive value-addition norm and export-obligation discharge within 18 months (extendable). EPCG (Export Promotion Capital Goods) under Chapter 5 allows zero-duty import of capital goods against an export obligation equivalent to 6 times the duty saved, to be discharged over 6 years. Both schemes require IEC + RCMC and are administered through ANF-4A and ANF-5A respectively. Norm fixation for non-SION items is handled by the Norms Committee.
Special Economic Zones operate under the SEZ Act 2005 and Rules 2006 with extensive customs, tax, and FEMA-related exemptions. SEZ units are deemed to be outside the customs territory of India for trade-policy purposes. The post-2020 DESH Bill (Development of Enterprise and Service Hubs Bill) has been under consideration to replace the SEZ Act 2005 with a more flexible framework — as of 2026, the SEZ Act 2005 continues in force. Export Oriented Units (EOU) under FTP 2023 Chapter 6 enjoy similar — though procedurally distinct — concessions outside dedicated zones.
Foreign Trade Policy 2023 was notified on 31-March-2023 and came into force on 01-April-2023, replacing FTP 2015-20. Unlike its predecessors, FTP 2023 is open-ended and dynamic — there is no fixed 5-year term, and amendments are made through DGFT public notices as needed. The policy is anchored on four pillars: Incentive to Remission, Export Promotion through Collaboration, Ease of Doing Business through process re-engineering, and emerging areas (e-commerce exports, SCOMET, districts as export hubs). The Handbook of Procedures 2023 operationalises FTP 2023.
Shipping bills are filed electronically on ICEGATE (Indian Customs EDI Gateway) using the exporter's IEC. The life cycle: filing of shipping bill (free, drawback, or DEPB shipping bill type as applicable) → goods registration at the port → examination (if selected by RMS — Risk Management System) → Let Export Order (LEO) → loading on vessel/aircraft → generation of EGM (Export General Manifest) by the carrier → confirmation of export realisation through eBRC. Each step is electronically linked to the exporter's IEC for end-to-end traceability.
Duty Drawback under Section 75 of the Customs Act 1962 is a refund of customs duty paid on inputs used in the manufacture of exported goods. All-Industry Rates (AIR) are notified annually by CBIC and are claimed on the shipping bill itself by selecting the appropriate drawback category. Brand Rate fixation under Rule 7 of the Drawback Rules 2017 is available where AIR is unavailable or inadequate for the specific export product. Drawback is claimed in addition to RoDTEP — both are non-rivalrous remission schemes.
Under Section 16 of the IGST Act 2017, exports of goods or services are zero-rated supplies. Two routes are available to exporters: (a) export under bond/LUT without payment of IGST and claim refund of unutilised ITC under Section 54 read with Rule 89; or (b) export with payment of IGST and claim refund of IGST paid (auto-refund based on shipping bill matching). The LUT route is generally preferred for working-capital efficiency. The exporter's IEC is the cross-referencing identifier between GSTN and ICEGATE for refund processing.
